Yesterday I got curious about the Mariners. That’s a good way to be, given my position on this site, but this was a more targeted type of interest. 12 Mariners have accrued at least 100 PAs this season. All 12 remain part of the organization, and, save for recent demotion Guillermo Heredia, the rest are members of the active roster. Just three of those hitters are running a K% higher than the league-average rate – 22.1%. When I quizzed a few of my fellow writers on this cheery bit of trivia, Mike Zunino and Andrew Romine were quickly identified, but the presumptive third culprit - Ryon Healy - doesn’t fit the bill.
The Mariners can’t afford to wait for Ryon Healy’s luck to even out
